Protocol Magi :ORIGIN / Oshiro Hanako

Hanako Oshiro is one of the deuteragonists of Protocol Magi :ORIGIN. She is a sweet but confident girl with a passion for baking whose alter ego is Hyacinth.

Appearance
Hanako has shoulder-length, velvet hair. She ties a portion of it behind her head. Her eyes are a calm brown colour. While preferring comfortable clothes, she does have a good eye for fashion, and is rarely over or underdressed.

As Hyacinth, her hair reaches a bit past mid-back, and is tied into a ponytail that separates into two, pinned into place by a golden comb with a red gem and ruffles. Her Magi uniform is a salmonish red colour with golden accents. She wears a tight-fitting turtlenecked jacket with golden embellishments and a red ribbon over a dark red armour bodice and light pink skirt. The second layer of her skirt reaches her knees in the back, and she wears a red belt with the same length. She wears the same kind of boots as the other Magi; silver with a red circular gem. However, she also wears a partial cover in the same colouration as her jacket and skirt. Hyacinth wears stockings with an uneven top, and long, fingerless gloves.

Personality
Hanako often acts as a mediator in the group, and is really good at it, being capable of easily understanding others' feelings. Some in her group of friends joke that she is the therapist of the group. She is really sweet, but is also confident and firm, and her opinion tends to hold a lot of weight.

Magi abilities
Hyacinth is neither the best offensively or defensively in the current group of Magi - she's more of an allrounder who can hold her own against most opponents.

She is proficient at close combat, and this, coupled with her ability to mana-enhance her punches and kicks makes her an opponent not to sneeze at. She can, to an extent, do this to others and objects as well (making said objects effective weapons against Shades).

She is also able to generate spurts of pure, short-lived mana, from her hands that allow her to attack without coming into contact with her enemy, even if this method isn't as effective, so she tends to not use it all that much.

She also has a limited ability to sense incoming magical attacks.

Background
Hanako has had a pretty normal childhood. As a child, she constantly wanted to try new things - something her parents encouraged. This led to her developing a very open mind, and as such tends to be pretty accepting. Her love for baking and cooking developed as a biproduct of always wanting to help her parents out. When she got old enough to be able to go to kindergarten, this behaviour came to include the teachers and her fellow kids as well. Despite wanting to help everybody, she was never a pushover, and was never a victim of bullying.

She is two years older than Mitsu, Shiori and Kira, and as such, never really had a reason to interact with any of them - until she transformed for the first time, and Aubade introduced her to the world of Magi. She was more or less forced to join the gang that was only still forming by Mitsu, who saw Shiori and Hanako talking at one point (even more so when Mitsu realized Hanako baked).

Hanako was the first of the current Magi to awaken - other than Shiori, and takes her role as a Magi seriously.
